Top 10 Traveler Resources in Lake District, England

October 9, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

Cumbria's valleys and fells (as the low mountains are known) are home to idyllic villages, high moorlands and picturesque lakes. Literary buffs will enjoy Wordsworth's Dove Cottage (go in March to see daffodils), and if you've got kids in tow, visit The World of Beatrix Potter. Or just enjoy a leisurely drive through beautiful scenery.

Right in the middle of town this building used to be a prison. Some very detailed books here and well worth a look in. Staff are very knowledgeable.

Bampton Library

Reviewed By UOtterTravel - Port Saint Lucie, United States

We stopped in Bampton on a day tour that covered many of the filming sites for Downton Abbey. There's a real library that has books you can check out, but we just went into the part that had displays regarding the filming. It was interesting to see the photos as to how the village was transformed for the filming. Souvenir items were for sale and because it's such a small room it was quite cramped. If you're a Downton Abbey fan, it's worth stopping in Bampton and seeing all the locations used, including the library.

My dad used to live here in the 70s and honestly it's one of my favourite places in the Lake District. I live in New Zealand but honestly just wish I lived here, the most beautiful place.
